Buck Brannaman

Buck has been such an influence on our teaching and riding style, and as the greatest horseman of today he has taught us how to strive for softness and harmony with our horses and in the process has changed our lives in so many ways.

Ricky Quinn

Ricky has been a wonderful teacher for all of us at TPA. As a student of Buck Brannamans he is always looking to help us refine our horses and ourselves. The classes are always small and intimate and the amount of personal help that he offers is phenomenal. Each horse and rider combination leaves a Ricky Quinn clinic so much farther along in understanding, communication and feel. We cannot say enough about this young man and how well he communicates his ideas and knowledge. Come clinic at TPA with Ricky Quinn.

Joel Conner

Joel Conner has been a good friend and fellow student following the teachings of Buck and Ricky. He has now begun his own adventure as a teacher. The amount of feel, communication and education that he offers is amazing. And he now offers clinics in the area.
